what to get Mum for Mother’s Day

It’s now 5 days until Mother’s Day. Are you organised? Card, present, lunch organised? Fear not, my friends, because we love solving problems, especially when it involves a spot of shopping for a special someone. If you missed part one of our Gift Guide you can find it here, full of gift ideas for Mums with style, homeware collections and also some tips on getting a gift for the Mum that seems to have everything.

In Part 2, we’re talking gift ideas for Mums who are into active lifestyles, beauty routines and those who are a pro in the kitchen. Plus, if you want to earn some extra brownie points, we’ve got a giveaway to win a coconut-filled health and beauty pack, but you’ve only got until Wednesday May 6 at 3pm to enter.

So without further ado, here’s Part Two of our Mother’s day Gift Guide.

The Active Mum

Whether your Mum is a bit of a gym bunny or a zen yoga enthusiast, good quality activewear and accessories never go astray for the Mum who loves to live an active lifestyle. Get her the latest health-conscious cookbook (we’re loving Lola Berry at the moment) so she can be inspired by healthy recipes, or gather a collection of accessories for her gym bag that will help her get up and moving when its exercise time. If she needs some extra motivation, a Fitbit is a great place to start as it counts your steps each day and encourages you to keep on moving throughout the day.

The Masterchef Mum

Is Your Mums a pro in the kitchen? Then she’ll love any gadgets and trinkets that belong in her little haven. If she’s in the market so a new appliance, splash some cash and treat her to something she wants and needs. A nice dinner set or a beautiful platter won’t go unused, neither will novelty products like a fondue machine, coffee grinder and tapas plates. If you’re feeling creative put together a personalised gift pack of some of her favourite things in the kitchen, such as her favourite tea, beautiful salad servers, a new cookbook, gorgeous moroccan bowls, a clean apron, a shiny baking tray and some colourful decor to redecorate with. The possibilities are endless!

The Beauty-Guru Mum

If you’re Mum has a bigger collection of makeup, skincare products and perfumes than you, there’s no doubt she’s a beauty guru who loves to keep up with the latest trends. This doesn’t mean she has everything though, so have a snoop and see what gaps you can fill in her collection. Go-To Skincare by Zoe Foster Blake is one of our favourites and Australian online store Lulu & Lipstick always have a good collection of beauty products and gift sets in their range if you need some inspiration. Our pick of the crop though is this Coconut Culture Smooth & Soothe Cream. Not only do coconut products smell and feel great, but they’re also incredibly good for your beauty routine too and you can use coconut oil as a facial cleanse or scrub, to help clean your teeth and gums and as a hair and scalp treatment.

And here’s the best part – thanks to our friends at Stance Global and Coconut Culture, we’re giving away this glorious coconut gift pack this Mother’s Day!
